For my dress, and BM dresses, how it works is you can have a carryon, you can have your purse and still have the dress too or no? I swear when I was in a destination wedding this is what I had and it was fine.
Or does the dress count as your purse? If that was the case, then FI can just have that be his "purse";) right?
Re: Dresses on plane?
If you have a carryon, purse and dress, doesn't that mean you technically have two carryons and a purse? I have no idea, that's just how it would seem to me. Personally if I was on a flight and saw someone come on with all three, I'd give a side-eye as that dress is definitely taking up room...

<p>Hmm yeah that's what I was thinking too, but I was just thinking back to the wedding I went to, but maybe I didn't end up having a carryon then, can't remember. Maybe I'll just call the airline. I just want to inform my BMs so they know if they have to stuff it in their suitcases or not. I'm not worried about me, Jared can just carry my purse, it can be his man-purse;)</p>

Gotcha - probably best to call the airline. We didn't run into this issue because we drove, so I took the dresses with me for my one BM who was flying. :)
Calling the airline would be best though.
I bet it depends on how much overhead space you're taking up (or maybe space in general), . This was Delta, btw.

If you bring your dress, purse and carryon luggage you would be exceeding the limit and taking space away from other passengers who are abiding by the rules. You might get away with it, but if the flight is busy, the attendant will take one of your items and have it checked.
[QUOTE]Hi Sara, Now that I know you are flying on Delta, I have a "friend of a friend" who is a Delta flight attendant. I will Facebook her and see what she says regarding policy and/or any tricks or suggestions. So keep an eye on this thread. But it may take a few days, depending on her schedule and when she gets back to me. But I wanted to mention, I agree with what Jenn33 said about giving a little gift to get on their good side. Little things/appreciation means A LOT to your crew, as we (more so the f/a's than the pilots) are taken for granted and deal with SO many rude, demanding idiots daily! It doesn't have to be fancy--a bag of candy (and by your travel time, all the Halloween candy will be out) Donut holes, (ie if there is a Dunkin Donuts in your airport) Really ANYTHING that shows you're thinking of them, and that you appreciate the help is a nice gesture. (trust me, the key word with pilots is FREE...most of them are very cheap! Lol) Enjoy your weekend, and I will reply when I hear back from The friend! : )

Awesome, thanks so much for checking! Noted on the gift, I'll bring donut holes & cookies for them! Walmart actually has these fantastic new devils food cake donut holes, they are sooo good, and they have really good M&M cookies too, so hopefully that will suffice:) (I don't think the Mpls. airport has a Dunkin Donuts, we don't have any off them here, but I know they're a big east coast thing).
Thanks again and I'll be checking this post, or you can just page me, whichever!
